Atoll versus Continent: Why tiny Kiribati Turned Out To Be More Sovereign Than ArgentinaThere are axioms in political science that have not been questioned for decades. One of them is the direct relationship between the scale of the state and its ability to carry out autonomous political action.

Portugal vs Argentina: The Paradoxes of Sovereignty of Far-Off Similar CountriesPortugal and Argentina are two states separated by the Atlantic, history and cultural tradition, but united by a deep contradiction: both countries strive to strengthen their own position in the world and both face fundamental limitations of sovereignty generated by their own strategies.
